Custom Loop Water Cooling
Custom Loop is the ultimate in liquid cooling for your computer. Turn your PC into a piece of art by choosing every component yourself and experience incredible performance.Buy everything you need from Box.co.uk and then decide what components you want to liquid cool. Start with the CPU and go from there as you create something stunning.
How Does PC Water Cooling Work?
Water Block
Water blocks are needed to transfer heat from the source to the liquid that flows through the block. Every water block has micro fins that increase the cooling surface and channel the design, making them crucial to achieving high overclocks.
Reservoir
The reservoir holds extra water in the loop so air bubbles can slowly be replaced by water as it goes around the loop. It’s also the place where you fill in the liquid coolant. You can select reservoirs as standalone units or as a pump/reservoir combo.
Pump
The pump provides all the circulation of coolant around the loop by pushing all liquid through components. A standalone pump is usually created from a pump motor and pump top containing inlet and outlet ports.
Radiators & Fans
Radiators cool the liquid in the loop using fins to absorb the heat from the water. The fins are cooled by fans attached to the radiator, making them a very important component.
Fittings
You need fittings to connect the tubes or pipes with each component in the loop. There are various shapes and sizes, with different fittings for soft and hard tubing. You will always need two fittings for every component.
Tubes
Tubes connect each component in the loop, but you must ensure the size of your tubes match the size of your fittings and vice versa. All tubes have two numbers marked on them: the smaller number is the inner diameter (ID) and the larger number is the outer diameter (OD).
